This fabulous collection of 45 Vegan Sandwiches delivers inspiration to make your lunch shine with flavor, health, and joy!
Sure, a PB&J is a truly wonderful thing. But it can get a little stale if you’re brown-bagging it every day. A plant-based diet doesn’t mean that you have to rely upon only pre-made faux meat alternatives and nut butter to stuff your bread slices. There is a whole wide world of creative plant-forward sandwich options out there, from retakes on classics like Reubens and Po’ Boys, to rainbow-colored hippie fare like kebab salad and chickpea sprout sandwiches, to gourmet eats like grilled ratatouille and apple-arugula with smoky tempeh. That’s why I put together this awesome collection of 45 mind-blowing vegan sandwiches from top food bloggers to inspire your work week, or even to fortify a simple meal at home with my classic tomato soup. Get ready for everyone to be so jealous of your lunch!
